Commuting in Stockholm

Commuting in Stockholm really is fantastic. For four weeks I lived on an island in the "middle archipelago", commuting to work every day, taking the bus to downtown Stockholm on the mainland across the island. And now we're on Dalarö, an island in the "southern archipelago" (but which you can reach by car) and from here I walk a couple of hundred meters and get on a bus, that will take me to the commuter train, that will put me in downtown Stockholm in about an hour. Without even using your own car a single time.

You tend to forget how easy transportation actually can be - if there really is a great public transportation system like here. Amazing.

Connecting from the bus from Dalarö to the commuter train in Handen , going to downtown Stockholm.

This is where I live. Home. California might be almost the same size (and shape) as Sweden, but 35 millions call California home just like me. It's called the "Golden State". 188 sunny days a year and no snow shovels in sight.

This is where I grew up. 8506 km from California. Europe's fourth largest country in size, but tiny in population. Only 9 million of us. Meeting a Swede should probably be considered being unique! A part of my heart will always be here.
